A non-player character is a character that can be controlled by anyone. As such, the guidelines for creating a non-player character are much looser than the guidelines for any type of primary character. All that is required for a non-player character is a name, species, and short description of...
A secondary player character is a character different from the one that you initially signed up with, that usually has a smaller impact on the main plot. However, unlike NPCs, secondary player characters can only be controlled by a single person. For those who wish to introduce a secondary...

Because I will be a participant in this RP as well, here's my Sign-Up! A writing sample has not been included here because I'm guaranteed a spot in the RP anyway (and because you can see plenty of my writing in the descriptions, though it's not narrative writing). I also decided to include a...
